How To make Edna Lewis's Christmas Fruitcake
1 c Glazed candied orange peel
. diced 1 c Glazed candied lemon peel
. diced 2 c Citron
diced
1 c Currants
2 c Seedless raisins :
chopped
1/2 c Dry red wine
1/2 c Brandy
3 1/2 c Flour -- all-purpose
1 t Ground cinnamon
2 ts Nutmeg grated
1/2 ts Ground cloves
1 t Ground allspice
1/2 ts Ground mace
1 t Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1 c + 6 Tbsp butter :
softened
2 c Brown sugar packed
5 Eggs :
separated
1/2 c Sorghum molasses
Mix all the fruit in a large bowl and pour in the wine and brandy. Stir gently and set aside to marinate for a few hours. Butter a 10-inch tube pan or two 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pans and line it (or them) with clean parchment paper. Butter the paper. Sift the flour with the spices twice. Add the baking powder and salt and sift again. Put the butter into a large mixing bowl and cream until satiny. Add sugar and, using an electric mixer, cream until light and fluffy. Beat the egg yoLlcs slightly and then add them to the bowl. Mix the batter well before you start to add the flour-spice mixture. Stir the batter as you add the flour, a litde at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the flour is thoroughly incorporated, add the molasses and stir. Finally, stir in the fruit and any soaking liquid in the bowl. Put the egg whites in a grease-free bowl and beat with a clean beater until they hold stiff peaks. Fold them into the batter thor oughly and then spoon the batter into the prepared pan (or parns). Cover loosely with a clean cloth and let the batter sit overnight in a cool place to mellow. On the next day, heat the oven to 250 degrees. Place the fruitcake on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. After 1 1/2 hours, cover the pan with a piece of brown paper (do not use foil) or set the pan in a paper bag and return it to the oven. When the cake has baked for 3 1/2 hours, remove it from the oven and listen closely for any quiet, bubbling noises. If you "hear'' the cake, it needs more baking. Or test the cake with a toothpick or cake tester. If the toothpick or tester comes out of the center of the cake clean, the cake is ready to take from the oven. Put it on a wire rack to cool, still in the pan. When the cake is completely cool, turn it out of the pan (or pans), leaving the brown-paper lining on the cake. Wrap the cake with parchment, then aluminum foil, and pack the cake in a tin. Homemade fruitcakes need air, so punch a few holes in the lid of the tin or set the cover loosely on the tin. Set the tin in a cool, undisturbed place, and every two or three weeks before Christmas, open the foil and sprinkle the cake with a liqueur glassful of brandy, wine, or whiskey. The liquor will keep the cake moist and flavorful and help preserve it as well.

Ellen Degeneres is Officially CANCELLED After This Happened...
In today’s video, join us as we show you the reasons why Ellen DeGeneres is cancelled.

But behind her beaming smile and contagious energy, there may be a lot of offensive things she has done in the past.
This year, Ellen DeGeneres has faced a lot of backlash including a YouTuber's worst experience as a guest on the show and the way Ellen treats her employees. These are just some of the backlash she has gotten but there are plenty more. Be sure to watch the whole video because your opinion on the talk show host might change you. For the better.

The Controversial Scene that took 'The Beverly Hillbillies' off the Air
The Beverly Hillbillies is an American sitcom television series broadcast on CBS from 1962 to 1971. The show had an ensemble cast featuring Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, and Max Baer Jr. as the Clampetts, a poor backwoods family from the Ozarks region of Arkansas[1] who move to posh Beverly Hills, California after striking oil on their land. The show was produced by Filmways and was created by writer Paul Henning. It was followed by two other Henning-inspired country cousin series on CBS: Petticoat Junction and its spin-off Green Acres, which reversed the rags-to-riches, the country-to-city model of The Beverly Hillbillies.
The Beverly Hillbillies ranked among the top 20 most-watched programs on television for eight of its nine seasons, twice ranking as the number one series of the year, with 16 episodes that remain among the 100 most-watched television episodes in history. It accumulated seven Emmy nominations during its run. The series remains in syndicated reruns, and its ongoing popularity spawned a 1993 film remake by 20th Century Fox.
